Sauqld - Now Cams Affiliated

[Nismo_Boy]

For some time SAUQLD had resisted applying for CAMS affiliation. In the past couple of months the matter of CAMS affiliation has been revisited and after some considerable discussion at recent Committee Meetings and General Meetings with the new Executive body it was agreed that it would be in the best interests of the club to seek affiliation.

One of the major benefits is that it is now no longer necessary to be a member of another CAMS affiliated club in order to qualify for a CAMS L1 or L2 license and this will save members some money.

CAMS affiliated car clubs have the right to:

• Have representation at State Council;

• Debate issues at State Council and move and second motions at State Council;

• Vote on issues at State Council (subject to membership numbers and period of affiliation); and

• Issue Level 1 and Level 2 CAMS Competition Licences to their members (where the licence is applicable to the event).

CAMS car clubs, through their affiliation, can:

• Obtain advice from CAMS administration when required, including advice on technical, sporting, safety and legal issues;

• Gain access to and use of CAMS systems including judicial, safety, technical, accreditation, training and compliance systems and other intellectual property belonging to CAMS;

• Gain access to the expertise, developed over 50 years, within the CAMS administration and within the CAMS membership base; and

• Obtain support from CAMS administration with regard to officials’ training and event organisation.

CAMS car clubs, through their affiliation, are covered by CAMS insurances, including:

• CAMS General Public & Product Liability and Professional Indemnity Insurance;

• Personal Accident Insurance; and

• Voluntary Workers’ Insurance.

Other benefits enjoyed by CAMS affiliated car clubs include:

• Operating under an integrated international system of motor sport regulation which provides stable, universal standards of competency, organisational capacity, fairness and judicial process for all participants;

• Affiliation with a credible, authoritative and internationally accredited governing body that is identifiable to Government and other interest groups;

• The opportunity to be part of the CAMS affiliated car club network and take part in events run by other CAMS affiliated car clubs;

• Access to information via the CAMS web site (www.cams.com.au), CAMS Bulletins and the CAMS Magazine (tri-annual publication);

• Access to CAMS’ ‘authority to conduct a non-competitive event’ permits, a product allowing CAMS affiliated car clubs the option of staging non-competitive events such as concours d’elegance and social runs under CAMS insurances.

• The opportunity for promotion of the affiliated car club via the CAMS website (approximately 95,000 hits per month) through the ‘club search’ function, providing information and contact details to prospective members; and

• The opportunity to feature a link from the CAMS website to the affiliated car club website.

For the benefit of CAMS affiliated car clubs and CAMS members, CAMS is obligated to:

• Maintain its status as the National Sporting Authority (ASN) appointed by the FIA;

• Maintain a risk analysis and risk management program of the highest standard to provide the safest possible environment for competitors, officials and the general public;

• Maintain a public liability insurance policy with a minimum cover of $100 million in which the excess (if any) is not the responsibility of the event organiser/club (see insurance section of this document for further details);

• Maintain a personal accident insurance policy covering competitors and officials (see insurance section of this document for further details);

• Provide a professional management and administration team which is accessible at all reasonable times; and

• Establish, manage, maintain and monitor a judicial system in accordance with the FIA International Sporting Code and the National Competition Rules of CAMS and to ensure that it delivers outcomes which are fair to all parties.

We have had problems in the past where unless the motor sport facility or activities are in everyone’s own suburb they won’t pay/come.

Build it and people cannot be bothered *shrugs*

We have a pretty fun calendar for 2009 covering a verity of things, which should give people the taste for bigger and better things to come in the near future (SAUQLD championship) for example.

XYZ events over the 12 months with awards handed out at the end of year Christmas dinner.
